The previous record holder was Kobe Bryant, whom James surpassed by more than one year. Kobe was a relatively-ancient 33 years old and 131 days when he took the record. The next big points milestone for James will be the 30,000 points.

Yeah actually he won’t be the fastest. Youngest? Sure, yeah but not Fastest cuz Wilt achieved 30,000 in 941 games and MJ did it in 960 games and LBJ right now has 1,061 games played and isn’t at 30,000. Why the hate on Kobe saying “ancient 33 years and 131 days old”? Like dude its just a year and 75 days more from LBJ (32 years and 36 days) than what it took LeBron to get to 28,000 but that age statistic doesn’t take into account that the first 2 and a half years of Kobe’s career, he came off the bench and didn’t play big minutes so he couldn’t have a high scoring average. He’d have reached 28,000 and even 30,000 at a much younger age if he was a starter right off the bat from the beginning of his career
